She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cicadas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The summer air in \u201cthe year of the cicadas\u201d \u2013 1980, I think &#8212; buzzed and roared with insect sounds. Their noise went on all day, until dark, and then after a time of random, individual sounds, they seemed to synchronize and \u201csing\u201d in unison with the sound of \u201cPhar &#8211; oah\u201d \u201cPhar &#8211; oah\u201d (a musical interval of a 5th from the 5th down to the lower pitch) thousands of times each day.<\/p>\n<p>Mom told her friends back home in Florida about this phenomenon and she said her friends looked at her as if she\u2019d left her brains back in West Virginia. Hey, folks &#8230; it really <em><strong>did<\/strong><\/em> sound like \u201cPhar \u2013 oah!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cicadas have always started up their chorus about the time school starts in the fall, with \u201cone voice\u201d at a time, signaling fall weather coming, but the 1980 \u201cswarm\u201d was bigger than all the years combined since we\u2019ve lived in West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad Mom and got to hear this once-in-a-lifetime oddity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hummingbirds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favorite little wild creature is the hummingbird. I have three feeders for them, all different, and during their seasons here they keep me busy boiling water, mixing with one part sugar to four parts water. I call \u201cBirdie, Birdie, Birdie\u201d when I stand on my step stool to take feeders down or put them back up. Sometimes we see one or two at a time, but often there are many, busy darting around and dive-bombing each other, fighting over a \u201cseat\u201d at the feeders. I miss them when they leave in September and October.<\/p>\n<p>Our children and grandchildren have been here for family meals at the picnic table near the feeders, and some thought they were hearing bees buzzing as the \u201chummers\u201d whizzed overhead. So I\u2019m happy that they, too, have learned about the fun of attracting hummingbirds and enjoying their antics and their beauty. I was surprised when my brother Ron told me that they have hummingbirds, too, in northern Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Our children will always remember some of the favorite trips we took during the Warrenton years, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id46766-grandfather-says-the-magic-of-cape-hatteras-46766.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many times to Cape Hatteras<\/a>, and annual trips to Minnesota for as long as we had the wheat-growing project. If it hadn\u2019t been for that project, my children and Ron\u2019s children. (Ron is Elaine\u2019s brother.) His children would have never known their first cousins, and would have missed out on all those good times.<\/p>\n<p>Ron still talks about our kids Paul and Erik and their typical brother behavior during a meal once, when the littlest one said, \u201cMom, he\u2019s sniffing my food.\u201d Ron laughs easily, and heartily, and every time he reminisces about Paul and Erik\u2019s little routines, he still roars.<\/p>\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author: RD Blakeslee is a nonagenarian in West Virginia who built his net worth by only investing in that which can be enjoyed during acquisition and throughout life, as opposed to papers in a drawer, like stocks and bonds.
